During the rainy season, most houses are used to protect against mosquitoes. Liquid vaporizer devices like Good Night, All Out have become common in almost every house, but do you know that keeping them in a socket all the time can kill your pockets well annually?
The machine has a small heater
It is worth noting that these machines have a small heater, which heat the liquid container and converts it into gas. This gas works to drive away mosquitoes. Since the heater of the machine continues to heat up, it consumes electricity at all times, whether mosquitoes or not.
Electric consumption of 0.12 units every day
According to experts, a mosquito -escaping machine consumes 5 to 7 watts of electricity on an average. If it is kept on 24 hours, it spends about 0.12 units of electricity every day. In such a situation, about 3.6 units in a month and about 43.8 units of electricity in a year are spent.
Annual cost of ₹ 219 from just one machine
If the average price of one unit of electricity is considered ₹ 5, then only one machine increases the electricity bill of about ₹ 219 in a year. On the other hand, if there are two machines in the house, then this expenditure can double and reach ₹ 438. Three to four machines are also installed in many homes, which further increases the expenditure.
Change in habit will save saving
This small looking device can be overshadowed on your pocket. Experts recommend that these machines be used only at the time of need and should be removed from the socket as soon as the work is over. This will not only save electricity, but will also add hundreds of rupees to your savings account annually.
